THE 8 ELEMENTS OF DIGITAL LITERACIES

“The nature of literacy in a culture is repeatedly redefined as the result of technological changes.”

Hannon (2000)

“Functional internet literacy is not the ability to use a set of technical tools; rather, it is the ability to use a set of cognitive tools.”

Johnson (2008)

THE 8 ELEMENTS OF DIGITAL LITERACIES

CgCognitive

“[Digital literacy is] the awareness, attitude and ability of individuals to appropriately use digital tools...in order to enable constructive social action.”

“Digital literacy must therefore involve a systematic awareness of how digital media are constructed and of the unique 'rhetorics' of interactive communication.”

“Modern society is increasingly looking to [people] who can confidently solve problems and manage their own learning throughout their lives, the very qualities which ICT supremely is able to promote.”

“The creative adoption of new technology requires teachers who are willing to take risks... a prescriptive curriculum, routine practices... and a tight target-setting regime, is unlikely to be helpful.”

“Once we see that online texts are not exactly written or spoken, we begin to understand that cyberliteracy requires a special form of critical thinking. Communication in the online world is not quite like anything else.”

“The ability to understand and make use of ICT - digital literacy - is proving essential to employment success, civic participation, accessing entertainment, and education.”

?QUESTIONS

1. How do you differentiate and prioritise the learning of different digital literacies for different publics? (Simon Ensor) !2a. How do you start the conversation with folks immersed in 1990s information literacy that does not fully engage with evolving technology? (George Station) !2b. How do you start the conversation with folks who see literacy as reading & writing only, and see the rest as skills that aren't really literacies? (George Station) !3. I work with language teachers and show that online texts are different from offline texts and understanding online texts asks for new and additional skills and strategies. I think this way of looking at digital literacy, I would say an important part of the total picture, is a bit absent in you total picture, I would say. (Jeroen Clemens)
